Embryolisse: Cult beauty range


Don’t be surprised if you’ve never even heard of Embryolisse, because it currently has no home in the UK. However, on my trip to IMATS, where Embryolisse had a stand, it was the product causing the biggest buzz amongst beauty bloggers. In fact, Embryolisse is over fifty years old, born in Paris, and found in the make-up artist kits of note. I was given a sample pack and did a quick facial at home using:

Milky Make-Up Removal Emulsion
Exfoliating Care Cream
Floral Lotion Alcohol Free Tonic
Hydra Mask

And finished with the cult product that’s causing the fuss, Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentrate, filled with skin nourishing ingredients, such as shea butter, beeswax, soy and aloe vera. Like Elizabeth Arden’s 8 Hour Cream, it’s a multi-purpose product for any dry issues and loved by make up artists for its ability to stuff moisture back into weary complexions – it commonly used as a primer. Post-facial, my skin was ultra-ultra soft.

Those who love their skincare natural won’t love Embryolisse – the ingredient lists read like an hommage to parabens, but if you have a more laissez-faire attitude to ingredients, it is really a very beautiful range and suitable for sensitive skin types.

The biggest question, however, is why no retailers have picked up on this range – in my view, a best seller waiting to happen.

PS: Some hours on and many comments later – there are places in the UK to secure Embryolisse, but was thinking it more odd that no mainstream stores have it or even mainstream online retailers.

    I bought the cult product yesterday at imats, the prices were fantastic and the product so far is good (can only judge after one day :)) I was surprised too, to see the list of ingredients which werent amazingly special but i too have heard the fuss from MUA’s who love this for their clients.

    I do know that GURU sell this on their website but its not widely available here.

    I was gonna say, GuruMakeupEmporium have been selling it for quite a while online. ScreenFace also sell some of the range. I used to stock up every summer in France (spent summer holidays there till I was 18)

    I remember it getting too expensive for my pocket money, no doubt when it gained ‘cult’ status! The body creme is lovely too (but very pricey over here) – soothes sunburnt shoulders beautifully!

    I did love it, but I haven’t gone out of my way/or paid over the odds to buy it since.

    We kept wondering if people were being paid to big this up during the talks and demos at IMATS!

    As Gemma said, something with the word “embryo” in the title just doesn’t sound like something you’d want on your skin. I wonder if that’s why it’s not been co-opted here yet?

  4. screen face in covent garden sell this – there’s also a website. x

    I love Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre. I like the tube packaging because I travel a lot. This is the best cream for fighting dry airplane air. I don’t like creams in pots because every time you dip your finger inside the jar, you add more bacteria.
